Story-driven waterfront event space for authentic Tasmanian experiences.

MACq 01 Hotel stands on the historic site of Ocean Pier, where generations of explorers, traders, travellers and storytellers arrived at Tasmania’s edge. Today, that spirit of connection continues through a hotel unlike any other, where stories are woven into every space, experience and gathering. 

Together with premium accommodation, acclaimed dining and genuine Tasmanian hospitality, MACq 01 creates events grounded in place, rich in story and impossible to replicate anywhere else. 

Here, you don’t simply attend an event. You become part of the story. 

 

The Promenade Room

On Hobart’s original waterfront, The Promenade Function Room draws inspiration from the celebrated Promenade Deck that once welcomed arrivals to Tasmania’s shores.

Today, that same spirit of connection continues in a contemporary waterfront setting designed for gatherings of all kinds. Framed by uninterrupted views across Timtumili minanya / the River Derwent and kunanyi / Mount Wellington, the room brings the outdoors in with its unique open-air feel and stunning waterfront outlook.

Events are complemented by premium catering experiences featuring Tasmania’s renowned produce and beverages. Whether hosting a meeting, conference, cocktail celebration, engagement party, birthday or special gathering, The Promenade Function Room provides a memorable setting for up to 100 guests for cocktail events and up to 60 guests for banquets.
